Help on PMMA density

[Francesco La Palombara]

Dear biomch-l subscribers,

a very quick question I'm sure a lot of you won't have problems to
answer. What is the CT density (approximate value in Hounsfield Units,
HU) of bone cement (Polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA)?

Thank you for your attention

Francesco La Palombara
